Folk proverbs are relatively concise and concise words circulated among the people. Although these words are concise, they often contain the practical life experience of the working people. It is precisely because it makes sense and vivid that it can be passed down from generation to generation.
In the Feng Shui proverb of office and residence, there is a very interesting saying: "It would rather Qinglong be thousands of feet tall than White Tiger look up." What exactly does this sentence mean? Is there any scientific reason? What inspiration can it bring in terms of residence and office layout? Shang Detang will discuss it with you. The origin of the sentence
is from the Chinese saying " Four Symbols ". Anyone who is familiar with Feng Shui and Chinese classics knows that the original Four Symbols refer to the Laoyang, Shaoyin, Shaoyang, and Laoyin mentioned in " Yichuan ", and also refers to the natural weather conditions of the four seasons. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, the four symbols were gradually referred to by the Qinglong, the White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird, and the Xuanwu .
At the beginning, the four symbols had no fixed direction. Later, Yin and Yang School introduced the four symbols into Geography . The four symbols represent the direction, that is, the east green dragon, the west white tiger, the south vermilion bird, and the north Xuanwu.
After understanding the above knowledge, it is not difficult to understand the meaning of "It is better to have a green dragon high than a white tiger looking up" as it is mainly about building a house in the folk, meaning: the wing room on the left can be higher than the wing room on the right, while the wing room on the right can not be higher than the wing room on the left. If the wing on the right is high, it means "the white tiger opens its mouth", which is considered unlucky among the people.
Of course, this sentence also has a hidden meaning on the word "normal". In other words, no matter how high the wing room on the left is, it cannot be higher than the main hall (main room). At most, it is as high as the main hall, otherwise it will be suspected of "deception of the master".
In fact, it is not only ordinary people who have such requirements for building houses. There are also such statements when placing items or hanging paintings at home or office. Take office desks as an example. Generally speaking, it is generally believed that the things on the table are high on the left and low on the right. In other words, the green dragon is better than the white tiger, which is good Feng Shui and can be more recognized by others.
There is another kind of priority. If you hang a painting mainly based on water in the back of your desk or office, it cannot be too high. If it is too high, it is called "the water is not over". Mountain paintings can be slightly higher than water paintings, but they cannot be too high. Too high is called "the mountains press against the top".
Hanging paintings at home are also recommended to be high in the north and low in the south, high in the east and low in the west, high in the south and low in the north and low in the south and high in the south and low in the north. Of course, these statements are all stated without affecting beauty and habits, and are not so rigid.
So, does the old saying "It is better to have a green dragon that is thousands of feet tall than the white tiger to look up" make sense? Is it just Feng Shui knowledge? In fact, this is not the case, and there are also pragmatic elements in the middle. As we all know, after the sun rises from the east, it lasts for a long time in the west. At this time, if there are tall houses in the west, your courtyard will be affected and cannot receive light, which may cause too cold and humid conditions, which is naturally unacceptable. Do you think this old saying makes sense? Everyone is welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
